What to do if the Over/Under Voltage Fault indicator is ON in my ESAB Welding System?
If the Over/Under Voltage Fault indicator is illuminated, ensure the input voltage matches the selected console operating voltage. If not, adjust accordingly. If the issue persists, the problem might be with the PCB1, or the PCB1 or T1 in MOD1, and they may need replacement.
What to do if the Plasma gas fault indicator is ON in my ESAB ESP-200?
If the Plasma gas fault indicator is ON, first check that the plasma gas pressure to the console is at least 40 psi and adjust it if needed for the torch and application. If the pressure is adequate, inspect the Pressure Switch; adjust it if it's adjustable, or replace it if necessary. Also, check the wiring between the Pressure Switch and PCB1, specifically P1-9 and P1-10.
Why does the ESAB Welding System's arc not transfer to work, even with open circuit voltage between 315 and 355 and a pilot arc present?
If the arc doesn't transfer to the workpiece, even with the correct open circuit voltage and a pilot arc, it could be due to an open connection between the console's WORK connector and the workpiece. Check the continuity of the WORK cable and clamp, ensure the clamp is securely attached to the workpiece, and ground the work table to earth ground.
What to do if the ESAB Welding System's arc does not transfer to work, even with open circuit voltage between 315 and 355, and no pilot arc?
If the arc does not transfer to the work and there is no pilot arc, check the following: * Replace any open pilot arc Fuses F1 and/or F2. * Replace the pilot arc contactor. * Replace K3 or PCB1 in MOD2. * Check for shorts in the torch between the nozzle and electrode. * Replace the control PCB. * Ensure there's a preflow signal from CNC. * Readjust the current setting if it's too low, or the torch is too high above the workpiece. * Replace a contaminated or worn electrode.
Why is the Power Source Temperature Fault indicator ON in my ESAB ESP-200?
If the Power Source Temperature Fault indicator is ON, first ensure there is adequate ventilation, with at least 2 feet of clearance on each side of the console. If ventilation isn't the issue, check each thermal switch with the power OFF; they should be closed below 194°F. Also, inspect the wiring between the temperature switches and PCB1, specifically P1-15 and P1-16.
What should I do if the meters M1 or M2 show no display on my ESAB ESP-200?
If meters M1 or M2 are not displaying anything, the meter itself might be faulty, or there could be an issue with PCB1. Try replacing Meter M1 and/or M2. To verify that replacing the meter once resolves the issue, replace one meter to verify. If the meter replacement doesn't solve the problem, replace PCB1.
What to do if the ESAB ESP-200 Welding System power switch is ON, but the Power LED, Fan, and Pump are all OFF?
If the power switch is ON but the Power LED, fan, and pump are all OFF, check the following: * Check the continuity of the Power Switch. * Check Fuse F4 and its related wiring. * Check the Jumper and wiring of TB2.
What to do if the ESAB ESP-200 Welding System power switch is ON, the Power LED is ON, the Fan is ON, but the Pump is OFF?
If the power switch and LED are ON, the fan is running, but the pump is off, try the following: * Reset CB2. Check the wiring and ensure the pump fan can rotate freely. * If the issue persists, replace the pump motor.
What to do if the Power LED is OFF, but the Pump and Fan are ON, and the LEDs in power modules are OFF in my ESAB ESP-200 Welding System?
If the Power LED is OFF, but the pump and fan are running, and the LEDs in the power modules are OFF, reset CB1. If CB1 fails to reset, check the wiring, T1, or PCB1.
What to do if there's no pilot arc or main arc transfer when pressing the torch switch or sending a start signal on my ESAB ESP-200?
If there's no pilot arc or main arc transfer when you press the torch switch or send a start signal, check the following: * Ensure the Gas Test Switch is in the OPERATE position, not START / SHIELD or CUT. * Verify that the plasma gas pressure meets the torch and application requirements (above 40 psi). * Confirm the correct current command signal is present: in manual mode, the Panel Switch must be in PANEL and P5 in the J5 connector; in mechanized mode, the Panel Switch must be in REMOTE with a current signal above 0 volts, and P5 in the J6 connector.
